What makes a living room mid-century modern

Materials: Walnut and teak, wool upholstery, molded plywood or fiberglass chairs and brass accents.
Palette: Warm wood with mustard, olive and burnt orange; teal is a common fourth color.
Furniture: A low sofa on tapered legs, a teak or walnut coffee table, a lounge chair and a long low credenza.
Lighting: A globe or sputnik pendant, an arc floor lamp and ceramic or brass table lamps.

One practical tip: Tapered legs and a low profile do most of the work. Even a new sofa reads mid-century if it sits on slim wood legs.
